Deadspin | Newly aggressive Rockies pursue sweep of Padres

According to Colorado manager Bud Black, it's the realization that this team can't sit back and wait for three-run homers. "We're having trouble scoring runs, so any opportunity in a game that calls for aggressiveness, we're going to do it." Colorado has pushed the envelope and then some in 5-4 and 6-3 wins to open the current series. On Monday night, the Rockies had three stolen bases, and the first two led to runs.
